Houston,
Before 2014, I was a baseball player without a home. A seasonal worker who had put 200,000+ miles on my Honda Accord. My wife and I had bounced from city to city trying to find a place that would accept us, that would allow us to stay for a while...

Swinging in a 3-0 count should not be against any rules, no matter the score.
Before a game I would always look to see what % a guy swings 3-0. If it’s over 20%, it means I can’t just groove one.
The guys who will never “give you a pitch” at the plate are the toughest AB’s.

team has had a truly remarkable run on so many levels this year.
Win or lose, the fact the Astros have done this without the reigning AL Cy Young winner, without the reigning ROY, without their closer and half of the bullpen, after losing the 2nd best pitcher in the league to a rival, firing their manager and GM--is all pretty remarkable.

In no way does SB-202 expand voting rights. It is unduly restrictive, and purposefully aimed at limiting Georgians who do not have a DL, struggle with transportation, have limited (or no) paid days off, and vote in maj Dem counties.

True. If you can’t throw inside without hitting a guy, DO SOMETHING ELSE. People talk about brush back pitches like they’re easy to do. They‘re not. Don’t ruin a guy’s season bc you can’t execute, & damn sure don’t drill him just bc you can’t think of another way to get him out.
@Wiezguy
Or: How about aiming a fastball at the inside corner? Or spinning a slider away, as Tyler Flowers said? I mean, figure out a way to beat him without drilling the guy. Pitchers have to do that every day with JD Martinez, Trout, Altuve, Jose Ramirez, Lindor, Betts, etc.

In this data driven baseball age, there’s nowhere to hide. If you have a tendency, it’s gonna be exploited. Swinging 3-0, to me, is the same as swinging first pitch of an AB. If you do it enough times, a pitcher can’t game plan as well against you.
